This year it is a full ten years since Thorbjørnsen became “Paradise” -Stian. When Dagbladet met the artist on the red carpet in connection with the “Lange Flate Ballær 3” premiere, he was able to reveal an event in Mexico he is still remembered for.
– The best memory was the fifteen minutes I was a guy named “balloon man”. It is still remembered to this day, and I am so sick of that, Thorbjørnsen tells Dagbladet.
– It has clicked completely for me!
– Your most embarrassing “Paradise” memory then?
– I do not have any embarrassing memories. In fact, I’m just proud of it.
Got message from dad
Despite the fact that Thorbjørnsen did not make it to the finals in the reality show, he returned home from Mexico 100,000 kroner richer.
The finale of the fourth season has probably ended up in the memory book of most loyal “Paradise” fans, da Vida Lill Gausemel Berge slapp kula right in front of the nose of partner Miguel Kristiansen.
She therefore ran away with 200,000 kroner herself, and chose to give the remaining 100,000 kroner to reality colleague Thorbjørnsen.

– Dad sent me a message, I remember, because it was an article where it said that I had allegedly used up the 100,000 that I won at the final party. So he asked, “Did you spend 100,000?”
To his father’s great relief, Thorbjørnsen could tell that it was all nonsense.
Smuggled in secret flirtation
– Then I got a slightly long message where he wrote that he was very proud, Thorbjørnsen says with a laugh, and adds:
– Then I thought: «shit, that your dad is proud of you after you have been to« Paradise Hotel », then you have the round« game ».
Had a son at home
Although the viewers became well acquainted with the jovial musician from Fredrikstad, there was one thing few knew about the popular “Paradise” profile.
These are the new “Sommerhytta” couples
Last week, the 40-year-old took to Instagram to reminisce about his time at the hotel.
“These days it’s been ten years since I hit their screen as ‘Paradise’ Stian. Not everyone may know this, but I had played about 500 concerts before I chose, somewhat reluctantly, to join the “Paradise” circus “.

But before Thorbjørnsen checked into the hotel, there was one person he had to talk to.
“After chatting a bit with the elder’s mother (after all, I had a little son at home at the time), I decided to do it.”
According to the artist, TV 3 and Viaplay assured him that everything that was said about the son would be cut out.
“It simply came to our notice then. I, and all my loved ones thought I was going to be voted out the first week… and we laughed a lot at the fact that I was going to be the first overweight person in Paradise », he continues.
Announces new project
No regrets
There is no doubt that Staysman gained momentum after his participation in the program, and he does not regret that he participated in the controversial TV concept.
– A lot of bullshit and nonsense
‘Now I’m sitting here 10 years later. I have led a program in the gold row on NRK. I am the host of “Allsang på grensen”. I have played 1000 concerts and have received so many streams that I do not quite know how many there are ».
Although the 40-year-old believes that everything he owns and is today is the reality program’s merit, he admits to Dagbladet that he has not watched the program since his own participation.
